- i think too much. i think ahead. i think behind. i think sideways. i think it all. if it exists, i’ve fucking thought of it.
- everyone has talent. what’s rare is the courage to follow it to the dark places where it leads.
- i am not absentminded. it is the presence of mind that makes me unaware of everything else.
- people will kill you over time and how they’ll kill you is with tiny, harmless phrases like “be realistic".
- under the obsessive thoughts and plans, under the emotions, positive and negative, there is an ocean of peace.
- you must be the person you have never had the courage to be. gradually, you will discover that you are that person, but until you can see this clearly, you must pretend and invent.
- alone had always felt like an actual place to me, as if it weren’t a state of being, but rather a room where i could retreat to be who i really was.
- home is not where you were born; home is where all your attempts to escape cease.
- don’t walk behind me; i may not lead. don’t walk in front of me; i may not follow. just walk beside me and be my friend.
- i was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.
- i know but one freedom, and that is the freedom of the mind.
- we are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living.
